Investors should be very wary of the Muskrat Falls hydro project that is riddled with issues. This story speaks to some of them. It does not reference a big one for us: The North Spur. If, as many experts predict, the North Spur fails then the whole project washes out downstream taking communities and lives along with it.
These are all facts that shouldn't just make investors wary, it should make every person connected or impacted by this mega-mess stand up and shout for government to stop now! Do the Forensic Audit now, not after the damage cannot be undone.
